Is that a Chateau Latour '68 I spy in the wine rack?.........What appliance is that, under the worktop ? Not even integrated ?

Could I ask the significance of these two models?

I've just googled them but since I know little about cameras the joke is lost on me.

Finds Selfridges & Co too cheap and Harrods too full of riff-raff and tourists, so heads to Burlington Arcade for a more personal service. One cannot buy Crockett & Jones in Harrods anyway.
Harrods is too full of riff-raff and tourists, but they do sell Crockett & Jones.

He has a Pizza Oven in the rear grounds, must be bigger than your average 2 bed council house.

Has a drive which is 'U' shaped with signs to say IN and OUT.

Projects slowly changing coloured light onto the front of house.

Must have patterned imprinted concrete, any pattern but must be the wet look.

Doesn't have house number, but a name instead.

Has an imaculate carpeted triple garage, two spaces for weekend cars, a large portion for unused and brand new, matching, commercial grade treadmill, rower and stepper.

Oddly has new and unused power tools and high end petrol gardening equipment, yet employs a gardening service to visit once a week.

Single, divorced, no children, lots of well to do lady friends, the type who 'like to lunch' in the members only Country Club wearing gym and/or tennis gear. Gangle- gangle- gangle, they know more about him than he does.

Worries constantly about residual values of his big ticket purchases, would not think twice about selling a newly purchased item he was completely happy with if he could make a penny on it.

Wears Chino's and deck pumps along with a bold, bright pink/lilac/yellow RL Polo shirt, must have a jumper loosely tied around his shoulders, even when driving, which looks so odd.

Owns and wears in rotation a JLC reverso, AP OffShore and an obscure Patak left to him by his Father.

Knows only too well that the business his Father slowy built from nothing, is returning less and less each quarter, yet keeps to his deserved lifestyle, unfortunately he has no idea how to rescue it.

Looks like this?

Two dishwashers.

Multiple Cat6 points in every room.
Problem with having two dishwashers is that they may start arguing over who does the pots and who does the plates, not only that but imagine the employer pension and NI contributions for two!

I assumed it would be a line from a film or TV where some 'richer than yow' type refers to his cameras, but I haven't found anything.
Some people like older tech for what it is. Others like it just to show they are different (and love to lecture about it). I have a feeling that the OP was poking fun at the latter type of person.

Spurred on by the Bargain Barge thread, he bought a V8 barge he can't really afford to run and is having to hyper mile it everywhere to get an MPG figure to start with a 2, or near a 2, he'd take 19. Meanwhile all of the "st boxes" and "Euro boxes" he's now looking down his nose at come steaming past him while he pretend to be enjoying the serene ride and wafting.

Please do elaborate. I think that the higher eschelons and the lower both admit to liking Clarkson. The middle classes hate him. Well, they pretend to, anyway.
